As of today I have lost 54 pounds so it seems like we are right on. I had my 3-month check-up this past thursday and my surgeon was pleased with my progress. All of my blood work has come back in the normal range and I feel a lot better without all that fat. I still have over 100 pounds to go but I plan to enjoy every step of my journey. God bless you.

The only goal I have set is to be at a normal weight within 18 months of surgery. I am using what fitday.com said was my ideal weight for my height as my goal weight. Any loss makes me happy.

Congratulations Mary. Can't wait to join you in onderland though I still have a way to go. doing my happy dance for you.

i've been reassured by my surgeon and case workers (the case workers are all post-ops too) that you won't lose it all, it will DEFINITELY come back and as long as you're getting in your protein/vitamin requirements, there is NOTHING you can do to stop/slow it. everyone is different to how their body reacts to major surgery. believe me, i've lost quite a bit so far and it is scary. to me it's not worth the money to try all these things that are supposed to "help" with the hair loss when it's been shown nothing will help. i can only go on my doctor's/caseworkers word, i trust them. good luck! chris 350/261/?

Right now my goals are 10 pounds a month. I am not sure I will make that. Congrats on all your secess!
